MORE ANNIE WRIGHT, LMFT:
I'm a classic example of someone who has made the personal professional.
After coming from and then healing my own extensive relational trauma background, I became a licensed psychotherapist - specifically a trauma therapist who specializes in relational trauma recovery - and, in addition to my clinical work with clients, I also founded and run a boutique, trauma-informed therapy center in Berkeley where I oversee a staff of 20 clinicians and 5 operations staff who deliver top-notch clinical care to over 475 clients weekly across California and Florida.
Moreover, I'm a mental health writer with over 200+ essays on my personal blog centered around recovering from childhood trauma.
My writing and opinions have been featured in Business Insider, Forbes, NBC, Buzzfeed, and The Huffington Post, to name but a few.
I’m also a psychoeducational online course creator.
Every bit of my work in the world - whether through my direct clinical work, running my therapy center, publishing mental health thought leadership, or creating online psychoeducational courses - is devoted to helping those from relational trauma backgrounds recover and have wonderful adulthoods despite their adverse early beginnings.
And, when I'm not working, I'm a mom to an incredible five-year-old daughter, a Peloton fanatic, and an avid international traveler.

Thanks for the video.

[@AnnieWrightTherapist]

You're so welcome! I'm so glad you liked it!

Inside Out 2 - which I just saw yesterday - actually made me really, really sad. First, anxiety was there much earlier for me as you mention, and it was 100% already running the show when I was a teen. Anxiety and envy. Second, puberty never felt as a different stage from childhood - well maybe because all of those feelings were already there? Anyway, thank you for your video!

[@AnnieWrightTherapist]

Oh my gosh, I can relate. Both movies brought up a lot of sadness for me for different reasons (primarily because of how much Riley's two parents loved her and tried to do their best by her). And Anxiety was 100% in charge of my control panel as a teen, too. I hope hearing me share this helps you feel even a little less alone in your experience. I'm glad you're here!

[@steveschechter3712]

interesting thoughts, annie--well done! i'd love to hear your thoughts on modeling behavior in general in current movies and tv. thanks so much--

[@AnnieWrightTherapist]

Thank you! Is there any particular kind of behavior modeling you wish to see me talk about?

[@steveschechter3712]

@@AnnieWrightTherapist it seems to me that television and film teach reactivity--in other words, reactivity is depicted as a completely normal response, which of course it is in terms of common human experience. personalizing things is a "normal" response, for instance, portrayed over and over. without reactivity, there'd be no drama in tv or movies--no conflict. people would resolve things simply, listening and responding clearly in respectful dialogue. the medium itself is not geared to or designed for showing "healthy" individuals, but seems to normalize unhealthiness, (or perhaps "unconsciousness" is a better word) normalizing reactivity, as the only option. i think you can pretty much choose any emotion in film or tv and see many examples of this, don't you think?
